Movie Reviews of Elling
Movie Review: My favorite movie? It's possible
Summary: 5 Stars
I generally don't give five-star reviews to movies, although you'd never know that from my recent reviews. My wife just happened to choose a mighty fine line-up.
And yet, this one is the best of those five-star movies. It's very funny and it examines some very serious themes. You can read the other reviewers for more on that. I'll just say that, if you sat down to write a movie, this is what you'd hope you were able to produce. And you'd probably fail. I'm a novelist myself, and I wish I could write a movie like this. Or a novel like this, since it's based on a novel.
Movie Review: Excellent, brilliant, humoristic, serious
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a lot of words to be used to describe this movie. But not enough space:)With its humoristic tone, but a serious message, this movie is enjoyable from start to end.
It might be because I am a Norwegian, and I know the local setting, that makes me enjoy this movie so much (believe me there are not that many successfull norwegian movies;), but it is definately recommended to everyone that wants to see an original movie with an original subject. I can not really describe the movie it self... I can just tell you my feelings about it...:) See it if you want a special experience!
Movie Review: A must see Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this movie up on a whim at Blockbuster and have to say it is one of the best foreign films of 2002. The director and the actors do a great job of pulling you in and really caring and loving these nutty guys. To watch these two men who couldn't have been more opposite grow to love each other and need each other can teached us all a lesson not only in human nature but I think it has help me to become more sympathetic to those with mental disease. This movie will make you howl and it will make you cry with joy over the love these two guys have for each other.Movie Review: Beautiful, touching, quirky movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Elling will probably go down as one of my favorite gentle, quirky, feel-good movies. The two main characters are engaging, likable and very human. The film deals with their struggles to adjust to life outside an institution and follows their progress toward becoming functional. It is more a film about friendship than about mental illness and it makes you feel good about being human. The ending is fantastic! Don't let the fact that it has subtitles put you off. The subtitles are very easy to read and the overall tone of the film comes across loud and clear.Movie Review: if you watch one movie before you die, make it this one.
Summary: 5 Stars
(and that's saying something, because I am a diehard original star wars fiend.) not that this movie has any relation to star wars; far from it.
Elling is an amazing movie. the characters suck you into their world...I've never actually seen this movie in english, but I would recommend it to anyone, everyone, anywhere.
(the other reviews seem to have done a good job summarizing the plot, so I figured I'd go for the emotional punch.)
